Louis C.K.’s ‘I Love You, Daddy’ won’t get a release

TwitterFacebook

Ah, consequences. 

Following cancelation of the film premiere and a New York Times story in which five women accused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct, C.K.’s film I Love You, Daddy will no longer be released.

The film’s distributor, The Orchard, announced the news Friday morning with a brief statement:

Louis CK’s film distributor for “I Love You Daddy” won’t be releasing film. Was due out Nov 17 pic.twitter.com/rGvSuLotf0

I Love You, Daddy was already raising eyebrows for its timing and subject matter; in the film, Chloe Grace Moretz plays C.K.’s daughter and begins dating a much older man – it bears more than a few similarities to Woody Allen’s actual life.  Read more…

Kevin Spacey completely cut from his next movie

TwitterFacebook

We are swiftly learning that “isolated incident” is not a part of the narrative of sexual misconduct accusations gripping Hollywood – where there is one allegation, more are likely soon to follow.

This is not lost on Sony Pictures, which on Wednesday – the same day new groping allegations surfaced against Kevin Spacey – reportedly decided that the Oscar winner will be completely removed from his next film, All the Money in the World, and his scenes re-shot with Christopher Plummer in the not-insignificant role of J Paul Getty.

Director Ridley Scott was aiming to start re-shoots immediately, Deadline first reported, and hopes to still hit his Dec. 22 release date. That would be quite a feat indeed, considering that Spacey plays an important supporting role as the oil tycoon who negotiates with kidnappers demanding a ransom for his grandson. Read more…

Uh oh, looks like that ‘Justice League’ Rotten Tomatoes score could be bad

TwitterFacebook

One day, 16 hours, 10 minutes and 0 seconds – that’s how much time Warner Bros. is allowing between the embargo lift on reviews for Justice League and its first public screenings.

And if history tells us anything, that means the most ambitious DC Extended Universe film to-date could also be among its worst-reviewed.

A couple of months ago, we took a look at the relationship between critics’ embargo times and release dates (as well as other studio marketing behavior) and found a striking correlation: When they allow more than two full days for critical consensus to gather, the scores tend to be fresh (above 60%). Anything at two days or less trends toward rotten.  Read more…

An Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four reunion is all we want from a Disney/Fox deal

TwitterFacebook

Much ink will be spilled about the potential financial and cultural impact of Disney buying out 21st Century Fox – an impossibly complex proposal that’s reportedly still in whisper stages – but if you’re anything like us, your mind immediately went there.

Not to surging stock prices. Nor federal regulatory hurdles. Not even the inevitable implosion of Western popular culture into a black hole of corporate monolithism.

Nope, it went right here:
